Midleton Very Rare Silent Distillery Collection Chapter Four is one of the oldest and rarest expressions in Irish whiskey
ranging from 40 to 50 years old. Commencing in 2020, the distillery began to release one chapter a year, to span six years and culminate in 2025, when the last bottling from the Silent Distillery casks will be 50 years old. The 2025 release will mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Old Midleton Distillery .
Chapter Four is a 48-year-old blended Irish whiskey born out of the careful marrying of a grain and a pot still whiskey. The two whiskeys were laid down in 1973 by master distiller emeritus Max Crockett and each developed their own defining characteristics as they aged side by side for 48 years in two separate ex-bourbon casks.
Kevin O’Gorman, master distiller at Midleton Distillery, explains: ‘The marrying process for Chapter Four is a true testament to the science and art of whiskey making. It's a sensitive process of allowing the different elements to merge and mingle over time, resulting in a truly exceptional and complex whiskey.’
